A goal is defined as the object of a person's ambition or effort. For this challenge, you are to make a goal or two or, well, as many as you wish to.

Well, I'll pick a continuation of an old goal and a continuation of a new goal.

1. I want to write every day of 2021. I managed it in 2020 and wrote over 300k words. I plan to do that again this year, and I hope to post more of them.

2. I've started learning Chinese on Duolingo and I'm going on like, 24 days continuous, I think? I'm not going to pretend I can do this every day, but I will try for as long as I am able, and I am enjoying the hell out of it so far. It's fascinating trying to pick out characters I know in subtitles and hear words I recognize in the shows I watch. I'm watching accompanying youtube stuff about simple phrases and different radicals and stuff and that's mostly for interest and fun (I don't know how much of it really sticks right now, and honestly it's not much more than background noise but I truly believe in learning by osmosis).

That's enough, I think. :)
